A Very ITG Halloween: Jane Birkin

When Gaultier sent a bevy of Birkin look-alikes down the runway last month in Paris, it got us thinking; well, who wouldn’t want to be Jane Birkin, any day of the week? Next Wednesday’s festivities are as good an excuse as you’re going to get for blatantly trying on the infamous style icon for size. Snag a basket (or a Birkin bag, if you’re able), find a slick and swarthy friend to play your Serge and get ready to croon 'Je t’aime, moi non plus' all night long. Get the Gaultier look:

Go for insouciant denim-on-denim or directly channel Gaultier's look (for Constance Jablonski) with this True Religion maxi skirt (we’d encourage you to slit it up the front, Jane wasn’t scared of showing some leg), or MiH Marrakesh mid-rise flares paired with J.Crew’s Keeper Chambray shirt (buttoned low), or with a shrunken vest in a complimentary color. Top with a shaggy, late-'60s-style vest, and pair with kicky sandals. (Yes, a shaggy fur vest AND sandals. It was the '70s! Weather wasn't a thing, yet.)

The Nars pencil should not be used as an eyeliner but as an accent, right? I think I know what you are describing; Charlotte Tilsbury has used this look somewhere, but a video tutorial would be helpful.
